Enter the Grishaverse with the third book of the Shadow & Bone bestselling trilogy and international Netflix sensation by no. 1 New York Times bestselling author, Leigh Bardugo. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laini Taylor.

Praise for the Grishaverse:
""This is what fantasy is for."" The New York Times Book Review

Now with exclusive bonus material from Demon in the Wood (a Darkling prequel story) and a Q&A with Leigh Bardugo.

Soldier. Summoner. Saint. The nation’s fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

The Darkling rules from his shadow throne while a weakened Alina Starkov recovers from their battle under the dubious protection of the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Now her hopes lie with the magic of a long-vanished ancient creature and the chance that an outlaw prince still survives.

As her allies and enemies race toward war, only Alina stands between her country and a rising tide of darkness that could destroy the world. To win this fight, she must seize a legend’s power – but claiming the firebird may be her ruin.

It has two fantastically funny characters however the rest of the characters are rather annoying. The plot is okay but it’s not delivered all that well.

A tear welling but dramatic love story/adventure book. The darkling dies even though he was just a man with too much power who loved his country. Mal dies for Alina as the third amplifier. Before Alina loses all her power to none grisha Make sure tissues are near by
